Before the Lunar Orbit Rendezvous concept came along and produced the LEM, the Apollo Command and Service Modules were going to land directly onto the Moon. Below is a General Dynamics concept for one such lander, dating from October, 1961. This is part of a larger drawing that I’m working on cleaning up.

Once again… I’ll be traveling shortly, so blogging will be reduced for roughly two weeks. CD-ROM orders will be delayed, but download orders should still be filled in relatively short order (assuming WiFi connections are to be had).
